The Monochrome Guild hosted our semi-annual Friends and Family show. One of our members donated the use of his office space for the show. Arda owns Acius Engineering and has a nice office space at an ideal location, just off Whyte Avenue. Eight of the current Guild members put up some current work and we had some snacks and refreshments. I included three older framed 11x14 prints, and three newer mounted and matted but unframed 16x20 prints. Only one was from the Procession West project. I did have our Procession West book on display at the show and it was very well received. Several people expressed an interest in buying a copy so I think I will order more and start offering them for sale at cost.
Like true photographers none of us remembered to bring a camera to the show so there are no snapshots to share. We also forgot to put out a guest book, so we don't have an exact head count. Things to keep in mind for the next show in the fall. We estimate that somewhere in the range of 75 to 100 people made their way to the show through the course of the evening. We got a lot of compliments on our work and everyone seemed to have a great time. It was a lot of fun and has become one of the regular activities of our group. Everyone looks forward to these semi-annual shows and we plan to keep the tradition going.
